One thing I could never understand in the world of dating is having blind dates. It is not that I'm against it, it's just that I think anyone should have a pretty good picture of his or her date before even going on a date. There are lots of risks involved and it is something I always think we should avoid in dating. Just to get a clearer view, I asked around about blind dates and I do get various responses. I was lucky enough to meet someone who can give me a neutral view on blind dates and even give me tips on how to prepare myself for blind dates. Now, my friend, I'm going to share those tips to you. The first must-do when you prepare yourself for a blind date is to keep an open mind. Try to have as little expectations as possible, since you really do not know what you are dealing with here. Having expectations means you open yourself for disappointment. In addition, your expectations might stop you from noticing how great your date partner truly is. As what I have always suggested, it would be better to have a date on lunch or times where you can easily end your date with nice, seamless, excuses. Be yourself, but do not open up too many personal details just yet. Having you date partner walks you home on your first date is really something you would not want to do. That will surely give away your home address, which can be a recipe for disaster. Be yourself, and show how lovely you are as is, but do not give away personal details until you are on your second or third date (that is if you are sure you plan on keep dating this person). It would be better to have a friend or two with you, just in case something went bad. You can have them sitting not too far away from your or come by later as part of your exit plan. Meeting strangers is something you need to be careful doing, you know. You should at least try to gain information on your blind date prior to the event, just so you know the name of the person you are dating and probably some more background information. Set a clear exit strategy, arrange them with the help of a friend if you need to, and use that strategy once you are no longer feeling comfortable with the date. State clearly that you are not feeling comfortable with the date and you would not want to be on another date with that person. Being nice is one thing and exposing yourself to danger and discomfort is another. Of course, you should also focus on your date. Pay close attention to conversations, since they might reveal details of your partner. Pay close attention on what you say also; you do not want to reveal to much personal information on your first date right? If done correctly, blind dates are a great opportunity to meet people that can be great for you. Follow the tips and you will be just fine. |
